    Waxing Gibbous is an astronomy thing not an astrological thing.

    Depends on the buyer. If they are looking at the property as a rental property then having someone there already paying should be a positive. Also would depend on if they think repairs or upgrades would be needed. If not then a positive if they think otherwise then probably a negative.

    The team can offer less but I don't see him accepting. The 7/80 is definitely not a bit high. It is a bit low as you are not going to get an Albies contract accepted and you are probably looking at the low end being what Acuna signed for 8/100. But I don't see Contreras even accepting the same contract that Acuna signed for. Plus Contreras being on the older side this would be his one and only big time contract so for a 7-year deal you are going to have to overpay for years 5-7. Hence why I believe you will need to get closer to the 15-17 per year average. For the 7/80 it is not enough as you are only averaging about $11mm per year. You will need to up that amount or give Contreras an opt out after year 5 which only gives you one free agent year. It just doesn't make sense for Contreras to sign a 7/80 type of a deal unless you are giving Contreras an out after year 5. His arbitration years 2 and 3 should get him at $10mm in year 2 and over the $11mm in his final arbitration year. You have to pay for that final arbitration year and the free agent years you are buying out. His brother was also older when he signed his deal and his average per year is about $18mm. The final three years to equal what his brother got would need to be in the $15-17mm range which you already broke down. So the $15M / $16M / $17M is what you would need to get to in order for him to sign.

    Mariners and Dbacks make a trade.

    He would turn that down not enough $/year. I think he would accept something closer to 15-17 per year. So if you want to go 7-years then something like 7/108 is what you would need to offer.

    Hasn’t Dike also dropped some sure catchable passes? Didn’t he drop a sure TD in the first or second game of the year? I feel like he has dropped more easy catches this year. That maybe why he hasn’t been in as much along with the injuries.

    Much better to be pessimistic after a big win then you can’t be disappointed.

    This team is looking like a 10-14 seed tourney team. Really early right now and they could pull off some upsets but I just can't see this team being anything better than a 10 seed. Maybe I am wrong but this looks to be another disappointing year for the Badgers.

    Seeing Marquette beat Kansas is always nice. I used to work with someone who was so annoyingly a KU fan.

    Is Doug Melvin the new GM for the Cardinals? This seems like the Wolf, Garza, Looper, Capuano and Suppan signings.

    Badgers to play in Ireland in 2027 against Pittsburgh.

    Could just be a scheduling conflict for the others. Offseason vacation or other commitments. You would think the team’s beat writer would get the name correct.

    Thanks. The authentication was more for insurance purposes. Not sure I will ever sell.

    Mertz looks a lot closer to his freshman year than any other year at UW. He did get injured and looks like he will miss the remainder of the season. He definitely looks a lot better in Florida than he did at UW. I think the talent around him plus having bad coaching at UW was the issue. Mertz had problems at UW but he also had no one to throw to and a very poor coaching staff who had checked out years ago.

    If you pass and you don't take a sack or don't make a completion it stops the clock and allows the other team to save a timeout. On third down sure take the chance on a short route to see if you can get the 1st down. But you can't throw the ball away and you need your QB to either take a sack or make the completion. Rather risky to throw on 2nd and 3rd down and allow for the other team to pocket a timeout.

    No sadly this is how nearly every game has gone all season for the Bears minus the Washington game.

    Depends are we talking the same year Yelich is traded? Is this a pure salary dump where the Brewers don't pick up any other player with a high salary or take on any of Yelich's remaining contract? If the Brewers are picking up someone like Castellanos, doesn't that mean the Brewers are putting money back into the team? If the money that was earmarked for Yelich in '27 and that just gets banked no I don't want them to do that and I don't believe the Brewers will do that. You would have to go all the way back to 2016 where the Brewers actually had a significant decrease in payroll. The 2015 payroll was $104mm and then in 2016 it dropped to $63mm for OD. Then in 2018 the Brewers increased their OD payroll to $90mm. The 2018 plan was not only to sign Cain but to also sign Darvish that year before they were outbid by the Cubs. Their OD payroll would have been about $105mm that year if Darvish would have signed the contract the Brewers offered. Will the Brewers drop their payroll after trading Yelich probably if they are not taking on another equally high contract. But I don't think going down in payroll for a season or two is that big of a deal. This team has shown they will spend when it is warranted.

    I don't expect there to be much information until around the 3rd of December when the Winter meetings start in Nashville. Everything right now is just speculation with very little substance attached to it.

    How do you know the Brewers didn't offer Woodruff a 2-year deal similar to what you are proposing. What if Woodruff is the one who turned this down? I don't believe Woodruff was open to a 2-year deal and was only interested in a longer term deal. I believe this is why he wasn't traded. I think Woodruff is just going to ride it out and see if he can get ready by the half way mark of the season and try and catch on with someone. Then if everything goes right he can go into FA next year without a QO attached to him which should give him a boost in FA and give him that FA contract he is looking for.

    The Brewers have spent when it has made sense to spend. They spent on Moustakas, Grandal, Cain and extended Yelich. The Yelich extension plus the arbitration raises to Woodruff and Burnes being the main culprits in taking up most of the Brewers payroll. The Brewers have stayed around 19th in the league in spending which is remarkable for the market that the Brewers are in.

    I think this makes more sense for the Dodgers. Dodgers get Adames and Burnes Brewers get Sheehan, Bruns and Rushing Sheehan and Bruns are you starting pitching prospects and Rushing I think the Brewers would convert to a 1B instead of keeping him at 1B. His bat is too special to wait for him to develop defensively at catcher. He had a bad year this year but the power was still there. I think if you get him off of catcher and put him at 1B his bat will take off.
